Prayers and sympathy for Fred and the family. Ann was a great friend and wonderful person. She always had a kind word and bit of good conversation when we would get together at the beach or a shag event.

My dear Fred,
I want you know that we are all have you in our prayers and thoughts hearing of Ann”s death. She will truly be missed, especially by you. A s for Ann, I will always remember what a wonderful human being she was. Actions always speak louder than words, however, Ann was blessed to have both gifts.

Stay strong and keep the memories of Ann.

Fred, I was sorry to see the notice of your loss in the paper. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I never met Ann but after reading the above messages I wish I had known her. Add me to the list of those who are are thinking and praying for you.

Fred,
Doug joins me in expressing our sorrow during this most difficult time for you. We always enjoyed being with you and Ann sharing fun times. May you find comfort in knowing you have many friends who are thinking of you . God Bless!

fred,
We are saddened at the passing of your beloved wife, Ann. We pray that God wraps His loving arms around you and family, and give you peace. Ann was a very kind and giving person. She will be missed.

Mr. Tyree, my prayers and sympathy in the passing of your lovely wife. I remember her from my days at Duke when she would come for visits. She was always so kind to me and it was a pleasure to assist her.

I was shocked and saddened to learn today, five weeks later, that sweet Ann had passed away!
She was a good friend for many years; I met her decades ago when we worked together in the same Real Estate office. She was always kind and so full of joy and laughter. I enjoyed her peanut brittle all the way through 2016, , the same year that several of us took her out to celebrate her 80th birthday. She was so appreciative, and she hand-wrote the recipe for her brittle for many of us. I can’t even attempt to replicate her delicious gifts.
Ann was as thoughtful and giving as anyone I’ve known, and I shall miss her.
Sadly, because of a number of happenings in my life last year, I did not even know she was sick, or I would surely gave gone to visit her.
Please take care, and know that I shall carry fond memories of Ann in my heart.
